What care looks like when you stop optimizing everything after 46 tries

Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the prototype for a while.

I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions.

I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather than motivation. I would love to see a follow-up after 2 weeks.
